Yes, I can't remember seeing a bathroom or laundry here that didn't have a floor drain. Seems insane for that to not be standardised. I briefly lived with a bathroom in the UK that was carpeted?!
i briefly lived in a house that had second floor laundry with no tray or floor drain. the first day after installing a new washing machine it flooded and did over 30k damage to carpet, drywall, and installed electrical. Insurance would not cover installing a floor drain or tray, and the owner chose to let that decision stand.
there is an established term for this behaviour: hallucination.
lets me rephrase what i said before as on retrospection the point i was trying to make didnt come across:
Asking the model such as question is a pointless endeavor. It will pretty much always answer in a plausible sounding manner to whatever question you gave it.
pretty much the whole dialog is plausible given the prompts the user is required to make to illustrate the point the author of the site wanted to make... but the thing thats ironic about the site is that ... if youre prompting the model badly, it outputs garbage. though i'm pretty sure the author didn't want to make that point, to me its a perfect illustration of this.
And the same applies to asking the model to explain themselves and the related question. Asking for a source of the term is fine, and it will either respond with one and its cleared up -- or not and you know its a hallucination. nothing special about it, as they constantly hallucinating. its usually just self-correcting during the agentic loop.
"Asking the model such as question is a pointless endeavor."
It used a medical term that is not an actual term. I asked it to explain how and why it would do this, having a rudimentary understanding of the technology. I learned the technical reason. How is that a pointless endeavour to learn more about the tool I was using?
Using a term like "admit" assumes the reader (on a technical site) understands the context and what is being suggested. A bit like someone saying, "The landscape spoke to me." I don't reply to the landscape architect and say "Mate, the landscape can't actually speak" because I understand the sentiment and getting pedantic is pointless in that moment.
The word "admit" conveys a context of "fault". If you're going to say a similar thing about the landscape admitting to something then I'd be callimg you crazy, yeah.
The ai psychosis in this case it's specifically because of the used word.
Same story as with words like "love" etc
> Confess or acknowledge: Agreeing that a fact, mistake, or crime is real.
And I can see were really barreling down the road of stupidity on this comment chain with one person being more idiotic then the next
>you're suffering from HN psychosis.
No. They must be hallucinating.
And mind how 'they' so often select anthropomorphic terms, eg "hallucination" themselves, then ooze from the woodwork to behead someone who does the same, as if they own English and context itself. AI Psychosis, I think, simply means Double Standards and insulation from accountability in design.
There is a very interesting Plausible Deniability angle here. But I'll leave that for the future.
Also Australian, and I think there's something worth doing in this space, but I don't know how effective this Albo plan will be. Maybe there's an angle whereby an algorithmic sort (other than chronological, alphabetical, etc) loses liability protection somehow so the media companies are discouraged.
On Instagram, I can opt-out of "suggested content" but it reverts every 30 days or so. I would vastly prefer the default be that I have to opt-in every 30 days...
They're asking if there's an end game. If the single family homes get rezoned to three storey blocks, does that just become 10-storey towers and then arcologies, each more efficient than the other.
Maybe the answer is that the current single family home is an arbitrary point on the scale too, and should just be evaluated on merits for current and future needs.
I never used that, but I like Rain Parrot in Australia. Not sure if it's similar. It will tell me that it's likely to rain in x minutes, then stop y minutes later, and it's almost always fairly accurate.
A simple and unremarkable person could once upon a time have their basic factory job (or similar), make enough to own their home, and have a decent unremarkable life with their family. I think the pressures of housing costs or rent and other costs of living squeezed those people, often to distress. It's obviously not the entirety of a solution, but it's surely part of it.
Not sure if it's different over there, but farming in Australia (whether with questionable water reliance or not) is considered sacrosanct and pushback would be a political risk. Any foreign-owned alfalfa exporters would just throw lobbyists behind broader farming coalitions (small farmers, ranchers, locals, etc) to protect themselves. Residents will cop water restrictions before then, as has happened before.
That's been the same playbook up here but we're on the verge of uncharted territory as the hydro generators will soon be forced to shut down outside of Las Vegas. It's one thing to ask everyone to take shorter showers and xeriscape their yard, but it's a whole different level if nobody can afford to run the AC in 110F/43C heat.
